Blueberry Ridge

I have to say, berry picking isn’t a memory I have from my childhood. It’s not near and dear to me because I spent time as a child with my family picking our own berries. That just wasn’t something my family did together. In fact, the first time I had a blueberry of my own was after my daughter was born.

Berry picking IS special to me, though, because it is one of my favorite memories of my own daughter’s childhood. My mom and I took Piper to the Strawberry Fields a couple of years ago and I was hooked from that moment on.

It’s hard enjoy the moment with a camera on your shoulder, though, and you can’t be in any of the photos when you’re the one taking all of them. Well…I mean you can, but you wouldn’t enjoy it.

I decided to offer berry picking sessions this summer as a way to give moms and dads the chance to be in the moment with their kids making memories instead of playing the roll of family historian, and, let me just say, I am IN LOVE! It gives families the experience of having a storytelling session AND they get to pick (and eat) berries with their family. Everyone wins!

I am a wife and mama to two little miracles from Morgantown, West Virginia. I've had a passion for photography my entire life, but when I had my daughter three years ago, I felt a deep urge to capture her every move. Her tiny baby feet and hands were changing every day, and I wanted a way that I could hold on to those memories forever. Photography is a gift that I provide my family with. I want my children to have authentic documentation of their childhood. I, wholeheartedly, believe that photography is an heirloom.
I am living my dream by getting to know other families and telling their story through a series of photographs. I love to learn about, and document, what you love about your family. Babies change fast. The beautiful chaos of life is something you'll want to remember the rest of your life. Helping other families provide an heirloom for their children is my life's mission.

My sisters and I love to eat, I mean pick, berries…We started it years ago with my Mom..There are times when I have to drag two of my sisters out of the bushes before they explode! When we should be done, I usually yell, “Step away from the bush” to get their attention. And laughter shortly follows! I know that there is more in the bucket than in our tummies…We laugh and tease each other every time the bird cannon goes off that they are shoot at us because we are eating too many berries..It is a great summer activity to do with someone you love!
